[NegroXFile]

Yo! this Brother Strafe is one artist thats a mystery to me. I absolutely Love his music but we don't see him much and I used to frequent the clubs of Manhattan and New Jersey but yo, when Set It Off came on, IT WAS TIME TO PARTY, STRAIGHT UP! AND PARTY I DID! Strafe also had this funky ass song calle " Coming From Another Place" and that joint was funkier than a pot of uncooked chittlins.

[BMTGermany]

Great song! I first heard it in a movie ("the principal") with James Belushi.

[Msvana2u]

Jus a beast for no reason. Was a kid n now adult still lovin it.

[ACPmoka]

I remember this when I was little in the 80s and I am 33 now. Moms' old jam!!!

[slammed]

@ACPmoka what a classic track ..... i remember hearing this on the radio and I couldnt wait to grow up and go clubbing  ........ i too am 33 now ..... the 80's rocked.

[pHAMBURGLARq]

First time I heard this song was in 95 when i first saw the movie - The Principal (1987)- and ive loved it ever since. Strafe FTW.

[Joeysodi]

Cool jam. Also the track for the "clean-up" montage in "The Principal", which is a cool movie. Long live the 80's!!!

[HardSoulRecordings]

@Renthal127 lyrics at setitoff.net

[shamilton391]

@Renthal127 opened a concert for him BACK IN A DAY.. my boy.to bad he was shooting up. i watched him backstage. i was a kid. he told me never to let music take me over, i should take over the music. thanx strafe!OG!

[CoverGirl084]

@shamilton391 wait ..he was an addict?

[BadBalenax]

@shamilton391 and YOUR AN ASSHOLE. I'd think that be some personal biz. HE should have told YOU, YOUR AN ASS. 

[BadBalenax]

@shamilton391 Guess the DING DONGS & CHIPS took over YoU instead of the music!

[whitetailhunta]

aint no drug that makes me feel like this makes me feel!

[kaekaeb]

[theillustdj]

[betty4210]

THIS IS MY JAM!!!

[hoag3mta3]

Wow.....brings back memories...

[brotherhood302]

Is it me or does this song raise kundalini?...as soon as Strafe starts singing the serpentine fire moves up my spine. Hotep...this iz some God shit right here.

[frankasu03]

yeah. "The Prinicpal" soundtrack is really great. Just rewatched that flick on good ol' VHS. Hard to find a DVD copy.

[satanas237]

Have you heard 'hypnotize' of pharell?

It is like a bad imitation of 'set it off'!

Too much sex and ego, less and less inspiration.

Maybe all these people should do sex than just advertising it and join the porn movies. It would be great, something like a musical where everything ends up in bed...hahahahahah!!!

[ninetiesbaby10]

@satanas237 There are no similarities between the two tracks....and have u not heard the millions of Pharell songs that were not about sex?? "Provider" "Rockstar" "Love Bomb" etc?? People are so quick to judge the younger generation.

[satanas237]

@ninetiesbaby10 Yes I ve heard and for sometime I liked him but not anymore, I searched for music and realised pop music as it existed today is trash.

[ninetiesbaby10]

@satanas237 Not all of it....you jst have to search for the good stff...and there was trashy music in the 80s too.

[thatniggamakemuzic]

@satanas237 You`r just a clown who needs a smack and even that won`t help you ! I think you are kinda funny not ROCK funny But this nigga is smoking ROCK funny!!

[NeuroManson]

No, sorry, this isn't hip hop, this is funkadelic, descended from on high George Clinton. It led TO hip hop, not the other way around. This was my fave along with Nucleus' Jam On It.

[INISHMORE1974]

And yes, I agree with an earlier post. Stating that this is REAL hip hop not the profanity laced garbage that young people listen to now.

[INISHMORE1974]

This song was on "The Principal" soundtrack (1987) Just one of many great songs on that album.

[n3wbr33d911]

this the shit and always will be

[PhillyGirl64]

OMG I haven't heard this song in years! Too cool, reminds me of my clubbin' days yo!

[Terratiger]
